I undersatand that they can claim for an office/home but when like Smith and Mc Nulty claim against a sisters or parents home (only 8 miles away) then it is brought into question. I dont keep my bias in this, I abhore any Tory who takes the pee and also the labour ones as well.It seems that those on the other side of the fence it sticks in their craw to ever do so. Iam ashamed of any person who represented fair right- middle to right ideals having their hands in the till.When the Tories were ousted under the sleaze thing, i understood why but also reasoned that the new lot were little better and came in with a swagger and spin (where have we seen that at SMS ) but were the same.It is hypocrisy and as Johnny B reminded me, as much as i dont like the man Dennis Skinner seems to be a man who holds true to his beliefs.He gains grudging respect for being so. Not the Harriet Harmans, jackie Smiths, McNultys of the world

I have a special favour to ask, please put me on ignore. Thankyou

That is fine, the truth hurts you cannot counter that GB messed up by taking the regulations away and is responsible for a lot of the mess we are in. It also concerns me that somebody who is responsible for auditing is so understanding to these excesses, I do hope that turning blind eyes are not commonplace in the industry. Whoever has rightly shown the transgretions of the Tory, Labour,SNP's and MEP's need commending. These are the people who are doing the right thing. I bleive that as they are public servants should instantly be shown the door. In the last 10 years the government have rode the storm and left the person who has transgressed in their job, hoping the problem will go away. By doing so they have made us very sceptical about all of them, had they done the decent thing they would have kept a lot more respect.I myself do not think that the Jackie Smith video thing as a major problem , it may have been a mistake but considering the other problems she has had in the past i think that perhaps it had become a culture in their home(expenses that is not the videos)

I get by OSM, being in business for over 30 years and never having to get a business loan or overdraft in that time has served me well. Not very financially astute has obviously cost me dear Lol.

If the person was elected from the constituancy then they would already have a home.I have a home and a business i dont claim for both.You are showing your true colours coming out with the insults, not very attractive at all BTF.

I have to pay for the fuel I use to get to my place of work out of my taxed income. Only then am I able to claim. because the MP's say their home is the start of their journey they make the claim. Yes perhaps if people work from home they may do the same. I worry when people are making excuses.Read JB's list of expenses, look at how much it costs to run each MP and it is mind boggling. If people are part of the gravy train they will defend it i suppose, the same as the bankers were allowed free rien when Brown relaxed the regulations but it is still wrong.

Sad isnt it?

I said he might be right in 1 of those things , lol. I do agree he is a little unhinged.

Im sure the staff at the club shop will be pleased that they wont be berated again..It was you wasn't it?Apologies if not.

I think he was, i dont know what the terms of his transfer were but Im sure that he was part of the davies deal, all smoke and mirrors.

As much as i find it amusing to to see this it is also sickening tio realise all those snouts in the trough.It really is tiome to get this all sorted.The MP's should come from the constituancy they represent and then that would cut the 2 home issue.Then a cap on the london home.If they believe in their job they should be prepared to earn it.Why should nurses and doctors ,even schoolteachers have to travel at their own cost when MP's can take a plane or train in business or first at no cost to them.

As I say they are all a bunch of snakes.Livingston is probably the closest to keeping to his beliefs but even then...

Dont forget the Kinnocks, they had the miners lay down their jobs and get arrested to try and bring the government down so he could come to power.As soon as he didn't get to PM off he goes to high paid jobs for him his misses and daughter. Those socialiosts are like the Russian communists get rid of the people and the top and then use more excesses than there were there in the first place.

All can recall is the furore when the wealth tax was being spoken about in the 70's. It was reported at the time as his wife was American they had put ther money in trust/transferred to the US. Im too lazy /not good at trawling through the net for info.If it is not on the first 2 pages of Google pack in. Another poster has shown you his avoidance of tax but of course that's ok.A man who wants to share with the workers...well your and my money anyway.

I dont think having a broken foot is something the club could predict, the fact that he played a game with it shows he has grit and determination.I havent read what the OS has said on it but that is what has happened.

I agree I think they all are a bunch of snakes,

Thankyou, it is as i would have expected but I needed confirmation of that.

To be fair dide we in the run in last season? Bristol City and Sheff U were good but the home game against Burnley was about the worst i can recall in years.

Absolutely no chance of saving this season!!!! Alpine come on, you dont believe that really do you? This time last season we had just lost 5-0 away to Hull and drawn our home game 0-0 to Coventry.We followed that by an away defeat to Cardiff and then a home win to Bristol. That left us with 4 games to play and lost 1 drew 2 and won 1. That form was hardly awe inspiring. In the last 7 games last year we took 9 points,(2 wins 3 draws and 2 defeats) if we improve on that , I believe we will then we will stay up.

Why,surely it isnt binding. He is better placed than most to understand the ramifications of doing so.

Clapham as you have experience as an administrator would you be fearful of us going into it? I believe it would be disasterous but it would be useful to know your feelings. Apologies if you have answered this elsewhere.

Stanley It is hard to evaluate the clubs performance on the back of rumour that we are going inot administration, the club perhaps being relegated.Of course the shares will drop but if we stay up they will recover a bit.If we push for promotion they will rise again. Football shares are hard to compare against other businesses. Now of course people will rightly say that the performance of the club reflects the share price , but they may also see that the club took measures to ward off instant crisis and are in the middle of emergency surgery. The damage has been done since relegation and then not making sure we could ride the storm if we didnt go straight back up.You cannot spin the roulette wheel and then not have bad results if it does not win.

I feel sorry for her in respect it is embarrassing i suspect that she is not able to fulfill his needs.It is their private business but unfortunately it has been brought into the open. She will now forever have the tag pointed at her and I doubt her political career will procede much more.As a tax payer im more concerned that these claims were habitual and are just the tip of the iceberg. I also wonder if the MP had to come from the area and so it would stop MP's being parachuted in to safe seasts, that would end the arguement for constituancy homes, and also have advantage that the person elected understood the local issues.

and when she makes a claim for him to have treatment on his repetitive strain injury i assume that will be allowed.

It was stated on the radio he was on 40k!!!
